RE: FLy Eagle Jet Models
Flight report:
We did 3 flights on the plane.
Absolutely gorgeous plane with great flight characteristics.
CG at 140mm - right on the spot! all trims stayed at zero!
Very easy to fly, friendly landings, thumbs up.
The only problem we found is that the main gear oleo is way to soft and the plane sits on its belly on the ground. Means that the oleos are fully squeezed when the plane is on the runway. this causes the plane to be very low, the belly fins underneeth almost touching the ground. this also means that you cannot high-alfa the plane too much in the landing, although it can easily, cause the fins will touch the ground first. So we had to land in a more straight line aproach.
Stall point - stick almost at the full up with a little engine - the wings did not stall! very high alfa, ant it sank beautifuuly.
I had a retract problem, one of the main gear would not retract - but that is because of the soft oleos which caused a mechanical issue. once I will solve the oleos this will also be solved.
Throws - as per the manual are right on, same as CG.
Expo- 25% on ailrons, 35% on elevators and 60% on rudder and wheel. soft and predictable.
It was a good day...
I will post pics soon.
Cheers,
